Thrice have premiered a new song titled “Only Us.” This track is from the band’s new album “Palms,” which will be released on September 14. Dustin Kensrue commented:

“‘Only Us‘ came from thinking about how we’re so easily divided into ‘us’ and ‘them,’ when really we have an inherent ability to care for those in our group, and the parameters for who falls into that group are extremely flexible. It’s about how the things that we think separate us are actually inconsequential, and if we could broaden the idea of ‘us’ to include all people, it would help us to build a more loving and civil society.”

The lineup has been revealed for this year’s Metal Alliance Tour. Goatwhore will headline the trek, while The Casualties, Black Tusk, Great American Ghost, Morthereon (from 10/31-11/17) and Gozu (from 11/18-11/30) will serve as support.

Whitechapel will continue celebrating the 10th anniversary of “This Is Exile” on a fall tour with Chelsea Grin, Oceano, and Slaughter To Prevail. After the trek, the band plan to hit the studio to finish their new album, which is expected to be released in the spring.
